The iOpener is an insulated, heat-retaining bag that can be heated in a microwave and used to transfer heat to the adhesive along the edge of an iPad or similar device.
Follow these basic instructions to get started with your new (black, liquid-filled) iOpener. For the white, solid-filled iOpener, follow this guide instead.
For detailed instructions specific to your device and repair, see our set of iPad repair guides.

I do not have a microwave because I think it is unhealthy for food preparation. When I need fastfood I often just eat raw fruit which is much faster, healtier, and tastier than most microwave foods.
Does the iOpener Heating also work when it is baked in a frying pan?
Hello! Thanks for the good question. Actually we dissuade from using a frying pan to heat the iOpener because the coating would melt. Instead, use a saucepan filled with cold water and heat it on the stove. But be very careful not to overheat the iOpener and not to hurt yourself handling with the hot iOpener! You can do as well without iOpener and alternatively use a hairdryer to heat directly the device you want to open. Good fix!
Its actually halarious that hes like “sure thing! Fry that thing up, lol…gotta put some water down, …but yeah…lmao…too funny
And much more expensive.
I’m not sure about health drawbacks, but it takes away all the taste and texture from the food. I’ve heard that it takes away healthy vitamins from the food; it’s just hearsay, but I’m inclined to believe it.
